Holy crap! I didn't realized the Daleks went all the way back to episode 4!
|
|
Also there are some Dutch-looking people who are of course the good guys.
|
|
|
|
## S01E05: The Dead Planet
|
|
|
|
They find a dead city which, oops, high background radiation.
|
|
Cool doors open up and some neat architecture.
|
|
|
|
You know what, for the time and (I assume) paltry budget of the first season,
|
|
this is pretty badass.
|
|
|
|
This Doctor is a jerk. Faking a broken part to force everyone to do what
|
|
he wants.
|
|
|
|
## S01E06: The Survivors
|
|
|
|
Daleks! It's cool that they waited until the second episode to bring them out.
|
|
They're pretty clearly assholes right at the outset here.
|
|
No moral ambiguity with the Daleks.
|
|
|
|
The Doctor is pretty frail. Honestly, the rest of the crew seems more
|
|
important than he is.
|
|
|
|
## S01E07: The Escape
|
|
|
|
I think we really meet the Norwegians here. I don't recall exactly.
|
|
|
|
I'm pretty sure this is the one where
|
|
the Norwegians try to meet up with the Daleks and forge a peace treaty,
|
|
not knowing the Daleks are complete assholes.
|
|
|
|
## S01E08: The Ambush
|
|
|
|
They start taking out the Daleks. There appears to be some sort of
|
|
creature inside, which can be taken out, and the dude teacher crawls in.
|
|
|
|
This is actually pretty cool, I liked this one.
|
|
|
|
## S01E09: The Expedition
|
|
|
|
I think the guy teacher tries to convince the peaceniks to fight the Daleks,
|
|
by presenting them with the possibility of him screwing up their stuff.
|
|
|
|
The Norwegians traipse around through some cool looking sets to
|
|
look like an alien landscape.
|
|
|
|
I think this is when the Daleks realize they need high background radiation
|
|
in order to survive, because the Norwegians (the Thaals I guess) anti-radiation
|
|
drug kills them. They plan to dump ionizing radiation onto the planet's
|
|
surface.
|
|
|
|
A Thaal dude goes to get water and gets sucked up by a vortex or something.
|
|
|
|
## S01E10: The Ordeal
|
|
|
|
Half the episode was watching people jump over a chasm in a cave.
|
|
The pacing on this, holy crap.
|
|
|
|
I think this is the one where the Doctor screws up their electrical grid.
|
|
|
|
## S01E11: The Rescue
|
|
|
|
Everybody runs around in the cave some more, and eventually they pop out
|
|
in the Dalek city.
|
|
The Doctor and his Grand-daughter
|
|
are imprisoned and he volunteers to teach them about his ship and how to
|
|
travel through time if they let him go.
|
|
|
|
The Norwegians and teachers rain holy hell and kill all the Daleks.
|
|
Everybody goes home.
|
|
|
|
Honestly, man, for being written 60 years ago, I'm surprised by how
|
|
compelling the Daleks were written when viewed by me today.
